Homeostatic behavior of fast Fourier transform power in very low frequency non-rapid eye movement human electroencephalogram

Neuroscience

Abstract

Basic research shows that the physiological and molecular mechanisms of very low frequency (<1 Hz) electroencephalogram (EEG) waves of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep differ from those of the higher (1-4 Hz) delta frequencies. Human studies show that the across-NREM period dynamics of very low frequency and 1-4 Hz EEG also differ. These differences and the reported failure of very low frequency EEG power to increase after a night of total sleep deprivation raise the question of whether very low frequency EEG shows the other homeostatic properties established for higher delta frequencies. Here we tested the relation of very low frequency EEG power density to prior waking duration across a normal day and whether these low frequencies meet another criterion for homeostatic sleep EEG: conservation of power across a late nap and post-nap sleep. Data from 19 young adults recorded in four separate sessions of baseline, daytime nap and post-nap sleep were analyzed. Power density in very low frequency NREM EEG increased linearly when naps were taken later in the day (i.e. were preceded by longer waking durations). In the night following an 18:00 h nap, very low frequency power was reduced by roughly the amount of power in the nap. T...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
